Soil moisture and EC in plots
Insert the PS-410 probe in the root zone you actually irrigate. Moisture drives watering; EC is a salt/nutrient proxy—calibrate against your agronomy practice, not a generic chart.

Smart Agriculture Sensors over LoRaWAN
Smart agriculture sensors need to run for seasons, not weeks — on battery, across fields, without cabling. The Particlesensing agriculture line covers LoRaWAN soil moisture and EC probes, PAR/ambient light, wind speed/direction and tipping-bucket rainfall for precision irrigation, greenhouse crop management and on-farm weather stations.

Application scenes
Canopy and greenhouse light
The PS-420 PAR / ambient light kit sits above the canopy or on a greenhouse truss. Use it for shade-cloth timing and supplemental lighting—not as a substitute for a lab spectrometer.
Recommended kits
Field wind and rainfall stations
Mount PS-450 wind and PS-460 rain on a clear pole with line of sight to the gateway. Hilly or tree-lined farms often need a second gateway; compact greenhouse sites usually share the soil-kit gateway.

Questions operators ask
Can one gateway cover a farm?
Often yes on a compact or greenhouse site. Large, hilly, or tree-lined fields usually need a second gateway. We size after a sketch—not a one-size range claim.
Are soil probes food-contact rated?
No. PS-410, PS-420, PS-450, and PS-460 are agricultural sensors. Food-contact temperature is the PS-610 needle kit on the food-chain page.
How is data delivered?
Each kit uplinks a decoder-ready payload to your LoRaWAN network server. Map moisture, EC, PAR, wind, and rain into irrigation or farm software from those named fields.
